Abstract
Insufficient agricultural land and a high vacancy rate in industrial buildings are important problems facing Hong Kong. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether industrial buildings are suitable as agricultural spaces and to formulate corresponding utilization strategies to promote agricultural production and food supply in Hong Kong. Research objects include industrial building space and hydroponic agricultural space. This paper used literature research and field research as the main research tools to collect relevant information on the utilization potential of industrial buildings and hydroponic agriculture. In addition, research data are derived from literature studies and surveying data, which provide detailed information about the industrial building structure and surrounding environment to better assess its suitability and feasibility. This research concludes that industrial buildings are potentially suitable for use in agricultural spaces, especially hydroponic agriculture. Its internal structure and environmental conditions can support agricultural production and effectively use vacant industrial building space to expand the scale of agricultural production. Regarding utilization strategies, this study recommends using recycling systems and related technologies, such as hydroponic systems and LED lighting, to transform industrial buildings internally to create farming communities. This will help make agricultural production more efficient and sustainable while providing cities with a fresh supply of produce.
